Would this scare raccoons out of my garden?

The the air dancer's unpredictable movements it is a very effective and humane wildlife deterrent.

I'm sure that it would. Very active, but also very noisy if that creates a problem where you are planning to use it.

Don't know about raccoons, but we bought it so birds wouldn't fly over our pool and drop "presents" in it...will let you know in the spring if it works...great conversation piece regardless! We based our purchase on someone else's review for the same purpose, and they had success! It IS noisy, so that fact might deter raccoons.

I think so But if it's outdoors and you use catfood as bait you may get a raccoon

It didn't work for skunks. It attracts cats like crazy! Don't know about raccoons, but I doubt it.

The diameter of the pole is 2", the baffle's widest part on top is 8" and it narrows down to about 4" on the bottom. I don't see why the baffle wouldn't stop raccoons as they are climbers rather than squirrels (jumpers) The baffle would throw them off. But there are some really smart critters out there so I wouldn't 100% guarantee a raccoon couldn't figure out how to get above the baffle but I would think it would be difficult.

It's pretty solid, but I don't know how strong raccoons are. We have had raccoons in our yard - nosing right up to the French doors and peering in without a care in the world - but nothing without the collar has ever got through the door.

No problem with critters; instead, a problem with the dry New Mexico climate. Couldn't keep the worm's soil evenly moist, even with the bins in the shade. I think raccoons would indeed be a problem, but you can defeat them by anchoring the lid down with something--and making sure the legs are stable so the 'coons can't knock the farm over.

Chipmunks, rats, squirrels. I do not know about raccoons but I would think so. It also works on opossums even though they are not technically a rodent.

If your feeding birds with it, then I'm sure raccoons will try to get it. I have them here in the Pacific Northwest, and they DON"T get into them.....Just keep it up high and mount it on a side of a building. Something slick on the sides. THEY ARE A GREAT DEAL FOR THE MONEY,BOUGHT 4 OF THEM....

I'm not sure, it does not work for raccoons or possum's, but before I put them up I did have Owls, but they never bothered my chickens or ducks, I have not heard them at night either, so it may work to scare them away. all I can say is buy one and try it. Anything is better than not trying.

I have never had a raccoon in my house or attic but I'd imagine it might work on raccoons if set on the highest frequency. This is the best product around as far as I'm concerned. I have recommended it to all my friends and neighbors and not a single complaint.

This was a product that never worked for me properly. I bought it to keep a neighbor's dog off my driveway as well as raccoons but the dog didn't seemed to be bothered by it, not even at a distance as close as 10 feet. And the raccoons left messes right in front of it (as if to spite me for installing it :) ) I eventually trashed it when I moved last fall from this reasidence.

For the most part, yes. Mine is effective to date against raccoons and squirrels, although at some point I would not be surprised to see a raccoon put it on the ground. Many squirrels have jumped on it with no discernible spillage. A worthwhile investment with excellent and personal customer service.

I would not leave it outside if you have raccoons, they will be able to smell the food and will attack! I had to bolt mine down so my cat would stop trying to open it, which is as annoying as it sounds and would result in spilled food when it sprung open sideways or upside down or would be wedged somewhere so it wouldn't open at all.

I can't say for sure. It keeps raccoons n deer out OK. Not sure if it will scare them enough to keep them away. When the ground is wet, it hurts to touch it,even worse in bare feet.

I would not use this for an up close attempt to kill a racoon. This air rifle will handle squirrels, rabbits and maybe even a small possum with a well placed shot. Racoons are bigger, thicker skinned and mean as hell.

I do not think so; those raccoons are pretty clever. The "lock" is a lift and release mechanism which I think they could get.

I think it would, assuming the dog wants to go in! It caught a raccoon that weighed probably 25-30 lbs.
